Lisa Preston writes both mystery fiction and non-fiction about animals, and the two sides of her career inform each other. Her Horseshoer Mystery series, starting with The Clincher in 2018, follows a farrier in the rural Pacific Northwest who gets drawn into criminal investigations through her work with horses and the people who own them. The unusual protagonist gives the series a distinctive angle in the crowded mystery market.
Her non-fiction includes practical guides on animal health and horse nutrition, reflecting hands-on knowledge that also shows up in the authentic details of her fiction. Preston’s standalone novels, Orchids and Stone and The Measure of the Moon, explore different territory but share the same attention to setting and character that marks her mystery work.
